Media Swans Talk in the Media 2022

[Nice Swan Brother]

So McRae basically admitted him and & coaching staff didn't adapt or even plan to adapt their game for the SCG. Oops.

It's a well known fact that interstate teams get 'lost' in the wings of the SCG if they're not prepared, I remember Cam Mooney talking about it ages ago. The Swans know it and push teams wide and it usually works rather well for us if we execute it correctly.

The Magpies wanted to play down the middle, the Swans pushed them wide and kept them there pretty much all day. Magpies were unable to adapt because they play so much at home they're not accustomed to it. Idiots.

This game was the very definition of no Plan B.

Thats perpetuating the misnomer that the SCG is materially different in term of dimensions to the MCG, where you have rightly pointed out that the Pies rarely leave to play.

If measuring total difference based on Length and Width.

MCG: L 160m, W 141m
Gabba: L -4m W-3m = Difference: 8m
SCG: L -5m W-5m -= Difference: 10m
Docklands: L 0m W -12m = Difference 12m
Optus: L +5m W-11m = Difference: 16m
AO: L+7m W-18m = Difference 25m
KP: L +15m W-26m = Difference 41m

The SCG has been these dimensions since 2014. Its a myth from Vic biased media and coaches looking for excuses that fails to acknowledge it's perhaps the crowd and the energy our players take from it and other factors that give us a home ground advantage.

Crows, Power and Cats (Mooney reference) can talk about getting lost on the wings, but no one else. And even then, they're more likely to be lost at the MCG than the SCG.

But all the above doesn't really matter until we have BT rooting for us. We demand HIS recognition!

Please don't hold your breath!

As long as Rowbottom plays for us, he will go the other way to avoid being called for nepotism...

Some decent analysis from King, but the quote below must be the understatement of the season. You reckon, Leigh?

“I must admit I’ve been a bit slow to come to the party with Sydney,” Montagna said on First Crack.

A 24-month rise has seen Sydney surge from also-rans to ‘box seat’ for the top two. This is how

[Punts]

Probably get called cheats now

 

[rustycrate]

probably because we moved into 2nd place on the ladder.

 

[Kiama Chris]

Need to hear from the club. Shocking waste if correct.

 

[bedford]

Geez your quick

 

[caesar88]

Are we even gonna have a soft cap left by the end of this year?!

 

[RilesMacca]

Just another attempt to derail our season ffs. Cant wait to get called cheats and have the finger pointed at us. Pies fans probs begging to have us get points deduction on the weekend.

Knew that moving up into second was too good to be true. Wonder who the 4 other clubs are.

 

[caesar88]

Five clubs yet only one named. Yawn.

 

[Ticky009]

Really surprising - we're usually so on top of this sort of thing. Something broke down somewhere.

 

[Ticky009]

Five clubs yet only one named. Yawn.

Because we copped the biggest fine, and its a big one.

That's at least 1 staff member there, maybe more. Gone.

 

[caesar88]

Because we copped the biggest fine.

Yeah but how hard would it be to include the other four clubs in the tweet, rather than direct all known guilt towards the Swans.

 

[Ticky009]

And now some good news

Bull. I don't even know what the circumstances are yet.

 

[caesar88]

If I had to take a wild stab in the dark, I'd say round 2 probably played a part.

Always did due to our academy handouts
